    Author: An BZ.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhen Jiu; 2009 Jun; 29(6):498-500. PubMed ID: 19563201.
    Abstract:
    Two kinds of divided methods currently used in clinic and their unified new method on the scalp acupuncture were discussed. Through comparing with the nomination and selecting methods on the stimulating location, the characteristics of the two kinds of divided methods on the location of scalp acupuncture were pointed out respectively. The advantage of the method with scalp projection areas is that the nomination is easy to associate and remember, however its disadvantage is that the measurement on point-selecting is less reasonable. For the method with standard treatment lines, its measurement is more reasonable, but its nomination on the location is sophisticated and difficult to be associated and remembered, especially having more repeated lines. The new divided method of scalp acupuncture combines the advantages of the two methods in order to easily remember and freely apply through their unification, which is worth being popularized.
